Malignant Hyperthermia (MH) - EMCrit Project
WEBJun 13, 2022 · Increased volumetric CO2 production is the best index, if this is available (volumetric capnography integrates the amount of CO2 over time, to determine the total CO2 production by the patient). The volumetric CO2 should increase substantially in MH, regardless of whether the patient becomes tachypneic or …
Malignant hyperthermia: a case report with good outcome
WEBJan 18, 2021 · Malignant hyperthermia is a rare, life-threatening and hypermetabolic response, occurring most often during general anesthesia, with an incidence estimated to be 1:100,000. 1 It is a pharmacogenetic condition affecting Ca 2+ homeostasis in skeletal muscle, which requires an autosomal dominant genetic defect and a …

WEBAug 17, 2023 · Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a hereditary disorder of skeletal muscle that classically presents as a hypermetabolic response to halogenated anesthetic gasses and/or the depolarizing muscle relaxant succinylcholine.
Malignant hyperthermia: Diagnosis and management of acute …
WEBMar 26, 2024 · Malignant hyperthermia (MH) manifests clinically as a hypermetabolic crisis when an MH-susceptible (MHS) individual is exposed to a volatile anesthetic (eg, halothane, isoflurane, sevoflurane, desflurane) or succinylcholine . This topic will discuss the incidence, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and acute management of MH.
WEBMalignant hyperthermia (MH) is a subclinical, potentially fatal pharmacogenetic disorder that manifests initially as skeletal muscle hyper-metabolism and sustained contraction, but which secondarily affects all organs when susceptible in …

WEBApr 24, 2007 · Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a hypermetabolic response to potent inhalation agents (such as halothane, sevoflurane, desflurane), the depolarizing muscle relaxant succinylcholine, and rarely, in humans, to …
Consensus guidelines on perioperative management of malignant …
WEBJan 1, 2021 · Most MH-monitoring guidelines recommend standard use of ECG, pulse oximetry, blood pressure, body core temperature, and (for general anaesthesia) capnography. 18, 19, 20 Use of further or extended monitoring depends on the type of anaesthesia or comorbidities.
Diagnosis and management of malignant hyperthermia
WEBIn this article, we will first describe the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and differential diagnosis of malignant hyperthermia (MH). We will then discuss the perioperative management, referral, and diagnosis of suspected MH.
Malignant hyperthermia 2020: Guideline from the Association of …
WEBMalignant hyperthermia has an underlying genetic basis, and genetically susceptible individuals are at risk of developing malignant hyperthermia if they are exposed to any of the potent inhalational anaesthetics or suxamethonium. It can also be described as a malignant hypermetabolic syndrome.
Recommendations for standards of monitoring during anaesthesia …
WEBMay 20, 2021 · Capnography has numerous other monitoring roles including detecting bronchospasm or other lung pathology, rebreathing of carbon dioxide and signalling alterations in metabolic status such as malignant hyperthermia.
